The Central Vermont Economic Development Corporation’s (CVEDC) spring seminar is titled “The Big Push: Bringing Creative Energy to Economic Development” and will be held on June 4th from 7:15am to 9am at Norwich University’s Milano Ballroom with two Vermont speakers: Matt Dunne, Community Affairs Director for Google and Matt Bucy, a White River Junction developer and film photographer. A tour of Norwich University’s campus is scheduled to follow the meeting.
It’s the best of both worlds coming straight from two Matts! Matt Dunne has focused his life’s work on bringing together the worlds of entrepreneurship, service and politics, while Matt Bucy, a Yale-trained architect, film photographer and well known developer, is transforming White River Junction’s decrepit and former railroad central buildings into booming creative economy hubs.
This year’s feature seminar will be live-streamed thanks to ORCA Media and can be watched online at www.orcamedia.net/web-channel but if you don’t want to miss the hot breakfast buffet, tour of Norwich University and the chance to network with over 100 of Central Vermont’s key business leaders, please RSVP to cvedc@sover.net or call 802-223-4654.
